Syntax Notes

Note the following syntax conventions for command statements:

Comments can be inserted in command statements by specifying an asterisk (*) in column 1 of the statement, followed by the comment. For example:
```
*The following statement suppresses the password.
```
All values must be enclosed in single or double quotes.
Comments can be added on a command line following one blank space to the right of the parameter value:
```
usd_id="ServiceDesk",     This is the Service Desk ID
```
Separate the parameters in command statements by commas.
Use a plus sign (+) at the end of a command line to continue the command on the next line. For example:
```
defaults usd_id='Service'+
             'Desk'
```
All commands (define, default, and so on) and their parameters (for example, product= or prodname=) can be entered in any case. They are forced to upper case by the parser one word at a time as they are being evaluated.
The following parameter values are forced to upper case:

Note: The values for the PRODUCT and LANG parameters are forced to upper case in both the command stream and from the product control member.

All other parameter values are processed in mixed case. For the following parameters, the mixed case is crucial:
